Hotel gulfview II (South Padre Island, USA)

Previous guests have enjoyed the fact that the condominium hotel is just a short walk from the beach. Those looking to enjoy the warm Gulf of Mexico waters can do so on foot in a matter of minutes.

Travellers heading to South Padre Island to visit Schlitterbahn Beach Waterpark will find condos conveniently located. The water park is located next door to the condominium complex, an arrangement that previous visitors have found to be opportune.

Guests booking a condo have access to a communal outdoor pool and hot tub. Past guests have been impressed with these features, pointing out that they're well looked after. Additional, the BBQ grills facilities located poolside prove popular.

With each condo privately owned, the quality of units is said to vary depending on the owner. Some units are said to be clean, comfortable and well-equipped. However, others have been described as rundown, poorly looked after and unsatisfactory. As such, guests generally have to hope the condo they book is one of the better units.

As is standard with traditional condo rentals, daily housekeeping is not provided, an arrangement that meets with some consternation. Some guests are also frustrated that they are expected to clean and tidy units when leaving, despite having to pay a fairly hefty end-of-stay cleaning premium.

Because there is no reception or on-site staff, some guests have found it a struggle to make contact with the powers that be during their stay. This has proven to be a hassle for those looking to have questions answered or emergencies tackled outside of normal working hours.
